Los Angeles, United States - October 4, 2014: Royce Hall on the campus of UCLA. Royce Hall is one of four original buildings on UCLA's Westwood campus.
Marie Høeg and Bolette Berg were pioneering Norwegian photographers and life partners whose work gained international recognition decades after their deaths in the 1940s. Their rediscovered private photo collection reveals playful and provocative explorations of gender roles.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a public event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
The identity of the shooter and the motive are not yet confirmed. Authorities have released CCTV pictures, are investigating, but no definitive conclusions about who did it or why.
There are reports that some of the ammunition from the scene was found with engravings referencing “transgender and antifascist ideology.” But this remains unverified: law enforcement agencies have not officially confirmed this detail. No public, confirmed forensic report or chain of custody is presented.
Even if the engravings are genuine (which is doubrful), that doesn’t establish that trans people as a group are responsible, only that someone- unknown, unknown affiliation- used ammunition with those words.
There is no confirmation that the shooter is transgender. Authorities have explicitly not verified that person’s identity or gender identity.
On Friday, U.S. and Utah law enforcement announced the arrest of a suspect linked to the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The individual, identified as Tyler Robinson, reportedly made comments to family members that implied involvement in the incident.
Robinson has allegedly made messages on the castings of unfired ammunition, referring to online culture and gaming, phrases such as “notices bulges,” “hey fascist!” “catch!” “bella ciao” and one with homophobic phrasing.
The Supreme Court declined to block a lower court’s order allowing a 14-year-old transgender student in South Carolina to use the boys’ bathroom at school, rejecting the state’s emergency appeal. The decision does not resolve the broader legal issues but maintains the student’s rights during ongoing litigation.
Tell me again how gender identity ideology isn’t homophobic. Would you trust this UK doctor, who was suspended from practicing by the medical council and now heads up quasi-medical trans advocacy group GenderGP, to be sympathetic to a young girl who’s attracted to other girls? pic.twitter.com/yDRZL6DrcL
A lawsuit filed by three military families alleges that recent Pentagon policies restricting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender dependents have caused severe harm.
The suit claims Tricare abruptly stopped covering essential treatments like hormone therapy, leaving families with high out-of-pocket costs and emotional distress. It argues that the Trump administration’s executive order and the Defense Department’s implementation exceed the scope of a 2024 law, which only targeted minors.
The plaintiffs, represented by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, say the policies are arbitrary, violate federal law, and betray military families.
Grace Byron’s article in The New Yorker explores the escalating suppression of trans art under the Trump Administration, which has enacted policies that censor trans expression and restrict funding for artists promoting “gender ideology”.
Trans creators face exclusion from both public and private institutions, with their work often hidden or removed.
Byron highlights how trans artists resist categorization and challenge demands for autobiographical transparency. Despite limited visibility and resources, they continue to produce powerful, multifaceted work.
At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Sabrina Carpenter delivered a performance of her song “Tears” in support of transgender rights. Joined by drag artists from RuPaul’s Drag Race, the stage was filled with placards bearing messages like “Protect trans rights” and “In trans we trust.”
According to the comics, Angela, also known as Aldrif Odinsdottir, is the long-lost daughter of Odin and Freyja. She was kidnapped as an infant during the war between Asgard and the Tenth Realm, Heven, and raised by the Angels of Heven as one of their fiercest warriors.
In Heven, Angela grew close to Sera, a woman born among the Anchorites — a monastic order where only men were traditionally allowed. Sera, however, was a trans woman who lived her truth openly. Angela fell in love with her, and the two became inseparable.
A federal appeals court rejected President Trump’s attempt to reinstate a passport policy requiring individuals to list their biological sex at birth. The court upheld lower rulings that blocked the policy, citing potential harm to transgender and nonbinary Americans, including increased risk of harassment while traveling. The judges found the administration failed to justify the policy and did not adequately address claims of unconstitutional bias. The prior State Department policy allowed applicants to choose “M,” “F,” or “X” as gender markers without matching “biological sex.”
